A devotional reflection on Jesus healing Peter’s fever-stricken mother-in-law.

Miracles of Restoration

Jesus restores us so we can serve. Peter’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, unable to rise. Jesus touched her hand, and immediately she was healed. Her first response was to serve. This miracle shows that healing is not only for comfort but also for renewed purpose.

And he touched her hand. (Matthew 8:15)

The fever left her. (Matthew 8:15)

She arose, and ministered unto them. (Matthew 8:15)

Christian Application

Sample Prayer

Lord, thank You for restoring me. Use my renewed strength for Your glory. Amen.
